New Film Clips
Posted by admin on October 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment
In the past decade I’ve been priviledged to travel half way round the world and back again with Stu Walker. Quite recently we began filming our adventures, just to create an unforgettable memoir. This in turn led to us making the critically acclaimed barbel Days And Ways series of DVD’s which feature some of the most [...]

2010 – Late March Blog
Posted by admin on March 23, 2010 · 10 Comments

Sorry about the delay in publishing this March Blog but I’ve been doing far too much fishing of late and when time can be freed up the paid work has to come first. I have to pay the bills somehow! If the writing appears rushed or the imagery falls below the normal high standards I [...]

Effective Barbel Rigs – Part Two

After reading Part One I’m sure that some of you were left thinking, “Is that it? Surely there’s more to it than that! It’s not fair! You must be keeping a secret up your sleeve…” But the plain truth is, no, I’m not holding anything back. There is no Holy Grail out there; there is no [...]

Posted by admin on September 18, 2009 · 3 Comments

September has been a pretty hectic old month and it’s no-where near over yet but I wouldn’t change a thing. Work continues apace on the next Barbel Days And Ways DVD, or should I say DVDs because we’ve already enough material in the can to fill two disks, but it has been incredibly hard this [...]

2009 – Late July Blog
Posted by admin on July 21, 2009 · 6 Comments

I’ve gone mad, it’s official. A year ago I gave up the day job and put together the kind of early retirement plan I’d been dreaming about for more than a decade. It was going to be a life full of indulgence with three days fishing in the week and lots of weekends away with [...]

The Making Of Barbel Days And Ways

Read the inside story… It’s barely a year since Stu (Walker) announced that he was going to film our sturgeon adventure. He’d bought a camcorder, read the instruction manual and was raring to go. We thought he was slightly mad. Surely you had to have some talent to make a movie? The planning meeting [...]

Cor, time flies when you’re having fun, eh? I must have had loads of fun in the first three weeks of the new season because the time has literally flown by. I mentioned in my last blog that I was making a series of DVDs with Stu Walker and this has taken up every spare [...]
